Time has come

Well the time has come to buy new shocks for my 2014 chevy Z71 dual cab. I know there are folks that have the same truck towing a camper. MY TT weighs about 4500 lb. loaded,

what kind of shocks are you running and do they do a good job.

I like the Bilstein 5200 series. Good valving for towing, and a nice ride when empty.

Bilstein.

4600 are for normal trucks, 5200 series are for trucks that are 'raised'. I just put new 4600's on mine. I have yet to pull, but hoping they make a big difference. OEM shocks that came off are not HD and not great. Not even brand named. Anyone want them? LOL
